Autumn Egleston '24 Recruiting Profile

Hello, my name is Autumn Egleston.  I have been running  and  competing since I was in the fifth grade. I have always had a goal to compete at the collegiate level,  both my parents and older brother were student athletes in college and I aspire to be as good as or better than they were.   I am a coachable athlete that listens and strives to accomplish what is expected of me.  

As a 7th grader, I was asked to move up to the varsity level where I became the top runner on both the cross country and track team and led our team to the state championship meets for track and cross country.  After losing a track season and having a restricted cross country season during covid, I was able to battle through the year and came back and through my hard work and perseverance, I was able to set PRs upon my return. I have set 8 individual school records and have been a part of 2 relay school records in cross country, indoor and outdoor track for my high school.  I have also had the opportunity to receive many All Team Awards.  

 I am very dedicated to my running career, I train and run year round, as well as push myself to be the best that I can.  As a  team leader for our cross country team and the distance track runners, I take the time to encourage and inspire the younger runners. I am a very upbeat and positive person,  which helps me to be a successful leader as well as  accomplish goals that I set.   

In addition to competing in several different running sports, I also competed on the school swim team at the varsity level since 7th grade.

In the classroom, I study hard and try to maintain a 3.43 out of 4.0 GPA.  I have had the privilege of taking some advanced classes as well as classes toward my major.  I also volunteer with running programs in the community, activities within the school as well as my church.  

I am looking at attending a great college that can challenge me in the classroom and to further my running career, as well as make me the best person I can be.  

I am looking forward to hearing from you,

Autumn Egleston
